The next big project from crowd-funded website Kickstarter is Pressy; this is a button that fits into the 3.5mm earphone jack on an Android phone and can be set-up to do a number of things with your handset like toggle Wi-Fi on and off, act as the shutter for the camera, start an audio recording. Anything your phone can do can be set up to run using Pressy...

Ok sorry didn't make that clear enough. PTT over Cellular is different from the true PTT. PTT over cellular uses 2.5G/3G networks to make the communication possible. But the PTT I'm talking about is like a walkie-talkie function (uses matching frequencies between the two devices). Having this walkie-talkie function is helpful specially in areas where it's possible for you to get trapped (cave), car got pot-holed (foresty area), etc.

I backed the kickstarter green edition when this was just starting to get traction. Its a great bit of added functionality for a part of the phone that doesn't get much use from me (I use bluetooth for almost all my audio needs). Im excited to see how this innovative little product matures.
